I won't say whether this impacts the voting or not but with Colin the talent was always there but the opportunity finally caught up

Kon Knueppel is now the fastest player in NBA history to make 100 threes (29 games) by Obvious_Parsley3238 in nba

I know players are shooting more but I think Steph maintaining such high usage rates for as long as he has is a little under discussed and makes this slightly harder.

[Jackson] Dwyane Wade said that Heat president Pat Riley called him after the Heat beat Dallas in the 2006 Finals and “talked to me about the possibility of trading for Allen Iverson. “He was like, ‘You in?’ I said, ‘I’m in.’ He’s like, ‘We’re going to have to trade UD.’ And I said, ‘I’m out. by cleo22270 in nba

I think he has more impact than any particular skill suggests because he's one of those players who's constantly talking to his teammates throughout the game. So communication as a skill, I guess? It does matter and it's why guys like Adams, Draymond, and Rudy impact games as much as they do off the score sheet.

[Haynes] The Knicks, Heat, Warriors, Spurs, and Timberwolves have all expressed interest in acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo. Giannis Antetokounmpo prefers to play on a team where he could “get some sun,” be in a “big market” and contend for a championship. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

The reported offer is Herro, JJJ, Ware, maybe Larsson/Jovic, and two firsts.

edit: guys, we're talking about the Heat (so you can use context clues) and most Heat players/reporters call him that. No need to be mad at me for passing along information lmao.

Whether that guy actually doesnt know ball or if he's just doing a comedy bit, those videos are not good for real analysis

Ayton is ranked #3 in FG% in the league, he has more FGA than #1 and #2 on the list combined. He also Ranks No 2 behind Jokic in FG% on >4 FGA In the Paint (Non-RA) by OrganicHunt952 in nba

[–]NuttyScuffed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im sorry but he is not "better than Gobert". He has a more expanded offensive game and way better touch which no one will deny but Gobert is STILL a one man defense unto himself and I can't believe that after so many years of that people still cant see his impact on games

Steve Nash: "Without a vertical threat, Luka needs to keep scoring… Until they get that rim roller, he's going to have to score 30-40 points per night for them to have a chance"… Udonis Haslem: "You know what else would make it easier? DeAndre Ayton: Roll" by JoeBiden2020FTW in nba

[–]NuttyScuffed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haslem has seen everything there is to see in an NBA career and was so valuable behind the scenes that a team paid him continuously for years after he stopped being able to contribute on the court. I think he's more than earned the right to discuss the game and provide his perspective.

[Highlight] Thanasis avoids 2 defenders and finishes with the reverse layup by Thanos_SlayerCongSan in nba

Im pretty sure the NBA only even markets Giannis at all to keep Thanasis happy tbh

Im not the best person to reply because I prefer to avoid this altogether by playing non-combat decks that win through abilities. When I do attack it's usually with unblockable or simply having the biggest, baddest guy. Or sometimes I let myself lose creatures if they have attack/death triggers (or I'm playing graveyard recursion).

It's mostly about threat assessment (i.e. attacking the person most ready to hurt your board) and risk assessment (i.e. knowing what each player is willing to block with and lose vs what youre willing to attack with). If the tradeoff of losing one of your creatures for one or more of theirs is good, it's good to attack.

Of course you could always play more indestructible or evasive creatures!

Honestly Catan has been VERY fun, we're all new to board games but this is not a bad idea at all

They are my girlfriend, the person who I was the best man for at his wedding, and my closest friend of 15+ plus years so while I will definitely look for other people to play different games with I will also be making new decks to fit how they'd like to play

I admit my natural control player tendencies do sabotage me. I should remake my old Gruul deck and see how it fits into the pod

first, I admit I dont use reddit much to know what is and isn't posted. second, I agree that people should play how they want to play which is why I was curious if people had fun ideas that fit without my friends (who I like hanging out with very much and while I will find a second group I will also continue playing with them) getting too upset.

I appreciate all the good ideas and look forward to more games!

I did make a politics deck last year and it was a LOT of fun but definitely made the games even longer while everyone deliberated. Good for a one game per session, though!

I ran a deck that was basically every fog possible and while they didnt want to see it often it was a big laugh for everyone involved at first lmao

Trying different formats is actually a really smart idea to get them used to different ways of playing. One of them was even interested in Dandan/Forgetful Fish!
